Since Richard feels uncomfortable in novel social situations and with unfamiliar people, he would be less likely to engage in active self-promotion. This behavior involves actively seeking attention and recognition, which may make him feel even more anxious and self-conscious. Instead, Richard may prefer to sit toward the sides in college classrooms, work alone, or promote himself in a self-protective fashion (i.e., focus on his strengths without drawing excessive attention to himself).
